Exploring Erosion: The Impact of Humans on Wisconsin's Ecosystems

This photographic collection showcases the effects of erosion on Illinois' Thorn Creek, highlighting the interaction between natural ecosystems and human activities. It examines how land use contributes to erosion and its visible consequences, such as fallen oaks along eroding shorelines and stream banks. Through detailed observations, viewers can discern the characteristics of various ecosystems, assess land usage, and reflect on the absence of certain expected elements in these environments. This collection invites a deeper understanding of environmental impacts and conservation efforts.
